Relative avidity of antibodies towards sheep red blood cells in New Zealand Black mice

Elisabeth A S Elkerbout, W Hijmans
PMCID: PMC1423240  PMID: 4605037

Abstract

Antibody-mediated inhibition and intercellular haemolysin transfer were studied in New Zealand Black (NZB) mice. The results, which support the hypothesis of the production of a low avidity IgG antibody, are discussed in relation to a disturbed thymic function.
